Remember when we watched La Jetée and discussed it over a second viewing? This time we're watching Guy Maddin's short film The Heart of the World, made in 2000. It's a blistering six minutes. We'll also watch Georges Méliès' eleven minute early silent film A Trip to the Moon, to see some of the influence Maddin draws upon. It's happening on Thursday, May 20th at 7pm at the Akron Art Museum, and it's free to the public.

After the films, join us, or listen in, as we explore The Heart of the World using the "shot at a time" method of group film analysis advocated by Roger Ebert.

If you've seen The Heart of the World, you know it moves too fast for us to be able to freeze it on any given frame, but we'll try anyway, or just let it run through a few times while we discuss it together. There's plenty to talk about.
